The Pause Legacy - Chapter 26: Paint Harder, I Can Still Hear Them!

Slide 1:

Hello and welcome back :D Last time Kavalee became a real man and was buried heavily in debt, Jacqui attempted to plot a kidnapping in style, Mallorie grew up and competed for the title of town bike and Coil blurted out how he loved Brodie a little too late.

Slide 2:

We start off this chapter with some fire. Mallorie: “There’s clothes in front of the oven. Grandma! Are you cooking someone so you can eat them and gain their power?!” Jacqui: “Of course not, you can’t gain someone’s power after they’ve been cooked!”

Slide 3:

Mallorie: “Thanks for coming but the fire’s already been put out ...*lusty eyes* But there’s still a fire in my heart that needs tending to...” Wait a second, I know that blonde firefighter.

Slide 4:

It’s Yellowpants !!!!! He came back to be in the legacy again :D Of course his name is different again. But he’ll always be Maloney Yellowpants to me <3

Slide 5:

Yellowpants : “Have we met before? I feel as if I know you.......maybe from a past life .” Mallorie: “That was an incredibly bad pick up line. But I’ll let it slide and let you watch me walk away.”

Slide 6:

Yellowpants : *watches Mallorie walking away* .....Don’t you have fires to go fight or something? Yellowpants : “What? Oh yeah, I’ll get right on that.”

Slide 7:

Mallorie: “You want to have some fun? My Grandma has lost her mind and I know where she keeps her time machine.” VJ: “There was no part of that sentence I didn’t like.”

Slide 8:

Past: *applause* Mallorie: “Oh um thankyou, thankyou.” VJ: “I’ve never had post-coitus applause before. I like it.”

Slide 9:

Then everybody started getting thought bubbles about this goofy bowlcut hair kid. I had no idea who he was and my thought process never went past sniggering at the thought bubbles.

Slide 10:

Apparently the weird bowlcut boy is Evan, and he’s the time machine son of Mallorie and VJ. He was in the household for hours and I never even noticed.

Slide 11:

Check out the nose. He’s definitely VJ’s kid.

Slide 12:

Evan: “Mother! I finally found you!” Mallorie: “I’m sorry, but WHAT?” Evan: “I am your lost son from the past and I travelled through time to be with you!”

Slide 13:

Mallorie: “So you’re telling me that even though it was me who went into the past and fooled around, I myself didn’t fall pregnant, but somehow I still gave birth in the past without realising, and then you found your own time machine for no reason and knew which time span to find me in?”

Slide 14:

Evan: “Well...yes.” Gah he’s adorable!!!! And he’s got Peter’s purple eyes! I wouldn’t have believed it, but VJ makes kids this cute?!

Slide 15:

Mortimer: “Hey Mallorie, I was just stopping by while looking dark and foreboding.” Mallorie: “Sorry, I have no time to be intrigued by your mysterious ways Mortimer. I went into the past with VJ and then some stars must have aligned or something, because the universe is out to get me, and now suddenly I now have a teenage son from the middle ages!”

Slide 16:

Mortimer: “You were intimate with VJ? I’ve seen him eat from the trash you know. Your tastes leave much to be desired. Maybe you are not the woman of higher class like I thought. Maybe I should just spend some time with your sister instead.” Mallorie: “Yeah sure, good luck with that.”

Slide 17:

Mortimer: “So Beatrix I’ve-” Beatrix: “Hmmm, might go inside now.”

Slide 18:

Mortimer: “Wait, I thought maybe we could go somewhere and talk about sweet nothings.” Beatrix: “Sure, as soon as you have a nice talk to my mother who is hiding in the bushes.” Mortimer: “Oh, hello there Mrs. Pause. If I may be so bold, you’re eyes are looking especially red tonight.” Beatrix: “If you survive, I’ll be in the backyard.”

Slide 19:

Surprisingly, Dawn immediately liked Evan, and didn’t go all hot-headed on him once. Dawn: “A grandchild that is already toilet trained and can cook his own meals? It’s like a dream come true.” Evan: “Thanks Mrs. Pause.” Dawn: “Call me Grandmother.”

Slide 20:

I love him! I love him! Screw everyone! I know Mallorie didn’t win....but can he be the next heir anyway?

Slide 21:

Mortimer: “You know, I have been told that I am very dark and mysterious.” Beatrix: “Oh really.......?”

Slide 22:

Evan: “Hey Bea, look at the face I can make. BLEHHHHH!”

Slide 23:

Beatrix: “Hah! That’s a really funny face Evan!” Mortimer: When is this stupid kid going to take a hike? He’s making it very hard for me to seal the deal.

Slide 24:

Evan: “Does this mean we are dating now? Do you like flowers? What type of ring should I buy you?” Mortimer: That was easy. I didn’t even have to say anything. He just blew it himself.

Slide 25:

Beatrix: “Evan, I’m your Aunt. I know you’re from a different time, but here we don’t date family. It’s taboo, it’s illegal and lastly, it’s gross.” Evan: “What an odd notion to pass.”

Slide 26:

Mortimer: “Since your time lapsed little nephew has clearly put his foot in it, why don’t you and I wander off to somewhere a bit more private.” Beatrix: “Oh look at the time, it’s GOT to be curfew soon. Looks like Evan and I have to go inside. Bye.” Evan: “Gosh you’re pretty.” Is it just me, or did anyone else notice than when Mortimer became an adult he turned into a huge creep.

Slide 27:

Jacqueline is now 103! She celebrates by whacking an ancestor around the head.

Slide 28:

Evan: “Driver, your hat placed at the 180 angle tells me that you fare quite well with woman. Can you help me with the fair maiden that is walking to this vehicle?” Driver: “Don't you worry young man. This ole bus driver has some pretty clever romance schemes up his sleeve.”

Slide 29:

Driver: “Sorry missy, budge up budge up. Sit right there, got lots of people coming on. They’ll crush you.” Beatrix: “No one but us ever gets on this bus. Who on earth is getting on?” Driver: “Oh large, large amounts of people. You might have to budge up closer ey .”

Slide 30:

Beatrix: “But the only other person to get on was Carousel. Was the bus driver just going to extreme measures to make a fat joke?” Evan: “He truly is a cruel man, But hey, may as well stay seated right?”

Slide 31:

Mallorie: “I’m so excited it’s your birthday! Did you want me to throw you a huge party!?” Coil: “Not really thanks. I just want something quiet.” Mallorie: “Alright, it’s your big day. Sombre it is.”

Slide 32:

Mortimer: “We’re here for the party.” Mallorie: “Maybe if you’re off to the bowls club old men. You better get those sweaters off and put on a hot suit before you come inside.”

Slide 33:

Coil: “Remember how I said I didn’t really want a party.” Mallorie: “No that doesn’t ring a bell.”

Slide 34:

Brodie: “Party! Where’s the bar?!” Evan: “What is that?!”

Slide 35:

Evan clearly got past the initial sight of Brodie because he was soon breaking his neck with the serious business of boogying down.

Slide 36:

AMIR!? NOOOO!!!! What has that fake father done to you?

Slide 37:

Phew, saved. And how dare you have the nerve to laugh at someone else.

Slide 38:

He was pointing and laughing at his cousin, Rachael Marx. I do not know why, because she is jaw- droppingly gorgeous! (Thank you Maverick genes!)

Slide 39:

Jacqui: “I haven’t been blessed with many children or even grandchildren I like, but I’m glad the only evil granddaughter I have is so hot she needs a warning label on her.” Rachael: “Thanks Grandma.” Coil: “Come on Grandma, I’m right here.”

Slide 40:

Rachel: “Uh duh, that’s why she’s saying it.” Coil: “You are not a nice person.” Rachael: “Why don’t stop playing spot the obvious and go and have a birthday or something?”

Slide 41:

Okay, so I love sideburns. And seeing Coil’s sideburns with his hawk cracks me up every time I see it. And being a musician is basically a licence to have a crazy hair style :D Pretty sunset ☼

Slide 42:

Birthday Two: Beatrix!

Slide 43:

Birthday Three So She Can’t Escape Coil: Brodie!

Slide 44:

Curse you bad CC! I just deleted about 800meg so the game would run smoothly again *shakes fist at monitor* Evan: “She’s going to end up as a warning in some Mafioso’s bed in not time!”

Slide 45:

ACK! Death Music!!! I freaked but Jacqueline is not dead. Jacqui: “Nope I’m fine, but someone has definitely kicked the bucket.”

Slide 46:

It’s just some random old dude. Yet another person deciding to cark it during an important moment in the Pause household.

Slide 47:

Jacqui: “Someone has died and I had not part in it. How strange. But if anyone asks I won’t deny it.”

Slide 48:

Grim: “Just so we are clear, this is the dead man right? There have been a lot of pale people recently. Let’s just say I haven't always reaped the right soul.”

Slide 49:

Grim: “Ah hello Jacqueline. We meet yet again. Still seeking a futile revenge on me and attempting to make me give your precious old man Locke back, even though it was you yourself you drove him to the grave?”

Slide 50:

Jacqui: “Seeking revenge? On you? For taking away some old goat? Highly unlikely.” Grim: “I thought so too, but people say and do crazy things when they are grieving a loved one.”

Slide 51:

Jacqui: “You take that back right now. Jacqueline Pause does not grieve and does not care for loved ones.” Grim: “Wow, the ghosts weren't kidding. That time machine really did mess up your memory. I thought you cared for Locke.” Jacqui: “I don’t! ....But since you have infuriated me, maybe I will make you give him back to me. Or I’ll pummel you.”

Slide 52:

Grim: “It’s not that easy. The underworld would need another soul. And I’m thinking, maybe I’ll just swap Locke’s soul for the soul of one of your children.” Jacqui: “Okay sounds good. How about Dawn, would you like Dawn?”

Slide 53:

Grim: “ Hokay ....here’s the thing. Most people would never agree to that so I’ve been using it as an easy way to get out of tricky situations. I’m gonna level with you. I can’t swap souls, and I can’t bring people back to life. When people die, they’re dead. They don’t come back.”

Slide 54:

Edmund: “’Sup Grim?”

Slide 55:

Grim: “’Sup.”

Slide 56:

Zelda Mae had contacted Peter for another makeover. She’s already had one makeover in attempt to make her look less of a monstrosity. Zelda: “I just had a child and I feel ugly all over. Make me beautiful again.” Wait, she just had a baby? As in some sim actually procreated with her? Voluntarily?

Slide 57:

Peter: “I don’t know. I’ve already worked a miracle on you once before. They don’t normally happen twice.” Zelda: “If anyone can do it it’s you.”

Slide 58:

Zelda: “Sweet llamas of the Bahamas. You’ve done it again!” Peter: “Well I’ve just lost my appetite for quite some time.” Zelda’s baby was named Chance Mae. I renamed him No-Chance Mae. Yes, I make fun of sim babies. I am that petty.

Slide 59:

Coil: “Brodie! I love you! I’m going to sing about you until you agree to go out with me.” Brodie: “I’m going to be on the other side of the park reading and pretending to not hear you.”

Slide 60:

Coil: “♫♪ Brooooooodieeeeeeeee Brodie Brodie Brodie Brodie Brodie Brodie . I love you. I love you Brodie. I love you love you love you love you love you looooooooooooooooooooooooove you. ♫♪”

Slide 61:

Man: “Hey you are pretty good.” Coil: “Thanks for contributing towards the love.”

Slide 62:

After playing for a few hours, Coil had amassed a couple of fans. Brodie: “Alright, if I agree to go out with you, will you stop singing about me?” Coil: “Nah-uh. I also want a tip.”

Slide 63:

Brodie: “You drive a hard deal. Now go home. Please.”

Slide 64:

Brodie: “What are you staring at?” Lady: “The luckiest woman in the world.”

Slide 65:

VJ: “It’s good to see you at my house. But why are you in my living room with my Dad when you should be in my bedroom.”

Slide 66:

Mallorie: “This is no time for foreplay! There’s a teenage boy in my house who just stepped out of the time machine and he’s says he is our son from us getting it on in the past!”

Slide 67:

VJ: “Wait, so we did the nasty in the pasty, some scientific mumbo jumbo occurred and now we have a son!” Mallorie: “Yes!” VJ: “Are you sure he’s even ours?” Mallorie: “He has your nose!” VJ: “Crap! That’s not good!”

Slide 68:

Mallorie: “What are we going to do?” VJ: “I don’t know about you, but I know what I’m going to do.....see ya .”

Slide 69:

Mallorie: “You’re running away?! Like a coward?!” VJ: “No, I’m gallivanting off like a very smart man. I only just became a young adult. I don’t want a teenage son. I’ve got too many years of good scantily clad fun left in me.” Mallorie: “You can’t run away from the problem! That was my plan! Who’s going to look after him?”

Slide 70:

VJ: “You’re house is full of do-gooders, aside from your grandmother. They’ll raise him fine. Come on, let’s go and drink until we can’t be held accountable for our actions.” Mallorie: “That does sound like lots of fun. Maybe I’ll stop by home first and at least say goodbye to him.”

Slide 71:

Mallorie: “Hi there....my dear son.....how are you?” Evan: “Um, a little creeped out by your sudden display of affection actually.” Mallorie: “I’ve got to tell you something. I’m........going to the store. You want anything?” Evan: “No thanks. And don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”

Slide 72:

Coil rides the scooty -puff jnr. to the museum to meet with Brodie for their first date.

Slide 73:

Brodie: “A museum? I’m pleasantly surprised. I don’t know how you know I adore classic paintings, but maybe we have some potential after all.”

Slide 74:

Coil: “Marry me!”

Slide 75:

Brodie: “.......Yeah.......You see that’s the problem. I take a step in the relationship and you run a mile. I’m not sure if I can handle someone as full on as you.”

Slide 76:

Sudden kiss sneak attack!

Slide 77:

Sudden kiss from different angles!

Slide 78:

Coil: *raises eyebrow*

Slide 79:

Stiles: “ Woah , I can’t believe that worked!”

Slide 80:

Dawn had accumulate quite a bit of Lifetime Happiness points (or whatever they are called) so I decided to use them and gifted her...

Slide 81:

...with a simbot !!!!!!!! His name is Albie :D

Slide 82:

Evan: “Wow! Some sort of fantastic mechanical man!” Beatrix: “Great, a service robot. Another reason for everyone to not do any work and get even fatter.”

Slide 83:

Dawn was not pleased with her Lifetime Points spending. Dawn: “What is this hunk of scrap doing in my kitchen?” Albie: “But Madam Dawn, I was designed exactly to your ideal specifications based on your personality type. I should be exactly everything you desire.” Dawn: “Then just go and be desirable where I can’t see or hear you.”

Slide 84:

The first thing this “service robot” did around the house was to watch television. And that’s all he did. What happened to the cool cleaning robot sims of sims 1 and 2, I ask you!

Slide 85:

Albie: “One eye? How primitive.”

Slide 86:

Evan: “Albie, I think you are just about the neatest thing I have ever seen.” Albie: “Thankyou, young master Bowlcut.” Evan: “Perhaps with your mechanical mind, you could give me an unbiased opinion on how to approach this girl that I like.” Albie: “I have been designed to understand and attend to your feeble human problems. Please continue.”

Slide 87:

Evan: “Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah ” Of course Albie could but he never would.

Slide 88:

Beatrix: “I cannot take this lazy family anymore. I need to get out of here!”

Slide 89:

Ablie : “Forgive me Lady Beatrix, I find all humans drone like creatures. But after talking with Master Bowlcut about you, I can no erase you from my processors.” Beatrix: “Excuse me?” Albie: “I have been told that you have looks, charm, an independent mind and curves in all the right places, which is apparently a good thing. I would therefore like to court you and perhaps call you my one and only.” Beatrix: “You have got to be kidding.”

Slide 90:

Evan: “Beatrix, I think you should give Albie a chance, just have a chat and I think you’d really like –”

Slide 91:

Evan: O_o

Slide 92:

Evan: “But I just finished telling you all the things I love about her. How could you, I thought we were friends. Albie: “Forgive me Master Bowlcut, I was unaware that your meagre mind expected a friendship to formulate from our single conversation. And it was from your droning that I became infatuated with Miss Beatrix.”

Slide 93:

Evan: “My dreams have been shattered.” Albie: “By the way, we’re moving out together.”

Slide 94:

Engagement face!

Slide 95:

A crying baby was left on the ground to ruin the wedding. It was No-Chance Mae of course. But he wasn’t the only thing to ruin the day.

Slide 96:

Yep, Grim stopped by. Can I go one celebration without someone dying?! It would be nice, just one time.

Slide 97:

Grim: “Poor little blue haired man. Somebody died at your birthday and now it happens all over again on your wedding day. Oh, how unfortunate.”

Slide 98:

It’s Cornelia Goth, who is for some reason on the opposite side of the beach to Grim. This is going to take forever.

Slide 99:

Grim: “Woe is poor little blue haired man.” Coil: “Can you just do your job and leave us alone please?” Grim: “I’ll do it when I’m good and ready.”

Slide 100:

Jedda: “Shut up Death. Hurry up and reap already. The faster this wedding is done, the sooner we can go to the reception and get smashed!”

Slide 101:

Hours went past. Nothing happened.

Slide 102:

Coil: “It’s been hours now and Grim doesn’t seem to want to do anything about the dead woman, so did you just want to go ahead with the ceremony. I mean if a dead woman at your wedding isn't seen as a bad omen.” Brodie: “I work at the cemetery. This doesn’t faze me in the slightest.”

Slide 103:

Look at his face. He’s so goofy <3

Slide 104:

Everyone forgot about Cornelia Goth and celebrated the couple ’s marriage. Including the Grim Reaper.

Slide 105:

And then No-Chance Mae ruined the day yet again.

Slide 106:

Oh noes ! My baby Kav got old!!! :(

Slide 107:

As the sunset the death music appeared again and Grim finally went to work.

Slide 108:

Except that 2 hours later still nothing had happened.

Slide 109:

Jacqui: “ Soooooo ......aren't you going to you know, reap something?”

Slide 110:

Jacqui: “That useless angel of death. Taking 6 hours to take away some dead broad. He should be ashamed of himself. I would do a better job than that loser. Maybe I should become the Grim Reaper instead.

Slide 111:

Gunther : “Jacqueline, please. Grim just took my wife away from me.” Jacqui: “Yeah, well I would have done it faster!” I’m sorry that two chapters have gone by since the heir poll and there are still no babies. Next chapter I promise!!!
